The death Of the late Eugene
Wallace has produced a profound
sensation. Having been reared in
this historic and beautiful valley
he was widely known. His charac-
acter was q rare combination of
those sterling qualities which COM
mand respect ana admiration,
man Of integrity, purpose and re-
fined ~sensibilities, thorough gen.
tleman, In all the relations Of life
he exhibited his manly nature, re-
spending promptly and faithfully
to the call of duty, extending aid
and sympathy, and discovering TO
the world high expression Of that
ideal a perfect man. As hus-
band and father his life was exem-
plary and praiseworthy; kindness,
gentleness and love were the pillars
Of his home. He worshipped the
God Of his Mother, and each day
sacrifice was made by him whose la
bors rise up as memorial and
whose memory fingers as sweet per
fume in his home. His wife and
children were the idols OF his heart.
His love for them was manly, and
his endeayors to make their lives
happy and pleasant is evidenced in
the beautiful home he made for
them. There traces of his love and
lthoughtfulness are everywhere Wis
Iible, their comfort was always con-
sidered first. What hopes and am
bition he had for them, what saeri-
fees he made, form a part of the
unwritten history that lives in the
most sacred recesses of the human
| heart.
